Beers similar to Keesmann Lager

Brauerei Keesmann

Amber Lager·Germany·5% ABV·One of 102 Amber Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Keesmann Lager's malty and caramel character. Also known as Sternla, this amber lager pours dark copper with a creamy beige head. Special malts give it aromas of stone-baked bread crust, toasted grain and caramel, with a hint of apple, red berries and a touch of chocolate, while aroma hops add a grassy note. The palate is full and malty, with bread dough and soft caramel balanced by a comparatively firm, fine bitterness for a Franconian lager. Low carbonation keeps it smooth, and the finish is dry with lingering hop bitterness.
